Thomas Gibson Walton is Sam Walton's father
Probable. Assessed by Cursor Grok 4.7 on 2026-10-16.
The Missouri historical society says Samuel Moore Walton was the first of two children of Thomas Gibson Walton and Nancy Lee Lawrence. The encyclopedia repeats that parentage and was not treated as a second proof. Wikidata points the statement at Genealogics, which was not opened, so the item does not raise the claim.
